IMPROVEMENT IN SAD-IRON HANDLE.

@tige ttehnietefemt tu in that Enters atmt rmt mating part nf its salte.

To ALI. 'WIIOM IT MAY ooNoERN:

Be it known that I, ARAD BARRDWS, of Vthe city and countyof'Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an ImprovedSad-Iron; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,making part of this specificationl v Figure 1 being a central,longitudinal, vertical section ofl the handle of a'sad-iron providedwith my improvement.'

Figure 2, a corresponding section of the handle, together with the bodyof' the sad-iron,aft'er the two are united. l I

Figures 3 and 4, cross-sections ofthe handle in diderent places.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all of the figures.

My invention consists in the employment of Wires, or small wrought-ironrods, inserted through the upright portions ofthe east-iron handle ofthe sad-iron, for the purpose of securing the handle against breakage.

In making sad-irons with my improvement, the handle A is l'irst cast, asin fig. 1, and two Wires or slm-all wrought-iron rods, C C, arerespectively inserted in the upright portions, Zz b, of the handle, theupperends of the wires or rods reaching up into, the horizontal portiona. The lower ends, c c, of the wires or rods, l[.rroject beyond thehandle in order to hold them in position in thesand for moulding, andthey may remain somewhat projecting when the body, B, ofthe sad-iron, iscast upon the handle, as shown in iig. 2. Y

The additional strength and security given to the sarl-iron by thissimple improvement are obvious.

I am aware that-handles, such as spoon and lifting-handles, have beenmade of' cast metal, wired throughout the centre thereof, and such I donot claim; but I What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

The cast sad-iron handle A, including Vthe wires o1' rods C C,construeted and arranged substantially as described, as a. new articleof manufacture.

The above specification signedby me, this twenty-third day of July,1867.
